A Cuban teenager was stabbed to death on Thursday in a music studio in Central Havana.
The victim was named Jean Franco and received two stab wounds.
According to internet user Rafael Quiros on his Facebook wall, the crime was "over a music issue, in a studio."
"I still can't believe it. This news has left us all very sad and shocked, as even though we haven't been in touch for a while, you are part of the family, and overall, you were a very charismatic and joyful person, full of dreams and ideas," they expressed.
"A child who was fighting for your dreams, and just like that, you are taken away from this world. I say this on behalf of our entire family, from my sister Melissa, who loves you dearly, and your cousins, Olgaleysis and Osvein. We say goodbye with tears and a heavy heart, mourning your departure at such a young age…" she added.
Quiros shared videos of the wake of the young man who was murdered.
Family, friends, and loved ones bid him farewell with songs at the funeral home until the casket was placed in the hearse for his transfer to the cemetery.
Independent reporter Yosmany Mayeta Labrada revealed that the victim lived near Parque Trillo in the Cayo Hueso neighborhood of Havana.
"The young man they called Jean Franco had a fight over music-related matters, according to his cousins who live abroad, but they couldn't clarify the real reasons behind how his life was taken," he said on his Facebook wall.
So far, no specific details about this horrific crime are known.
